  16. Recommended training

  17. THE PROJECT LEADER RECOMMENDS MS TO: • use the e-learning platform • develop national training in accordance with the “training the trainer” • workshop in Luxembourg • WHY: • Through e-learning more labour inspectors can be trained (at distance, although • some presencial sessions are required) • It allows gains in efficiency (labour inspectors can access the platform whenever • they want / Inspectorates can cut costs in travels, vehicles, • paper, training rooms...) • Some LI can get acquainted with new technologies in training

  18. Member States which opt for distance learning are recommended to organise the training as follows: One session attended by the trainees in person in which they are briefly introduced to the contents of the training course A period of distance training during which trainees have access to the educational materials available on the platform and can interact with trainers through discussion forums or simply by asking questions A final assessment period in which the level of success of the training is evaluated.

  19. The course contents should be structured into modules The course is preceded by what may be termed a pre-sessional module or Module 0 Example:

  20. Example of Training sessions Module 2 – Specific risks involving the use of hazardous substances - Identification of the characteristics of hazardous substances and their effects on human health: Wood dust, solvents (toluenes, xylenes, methanol), paint, glue and varnish (isocyanates and formaldehyde), preservers (copper and chrome metal salts). - Identification of techniques for the prevention of exposure to hazardous chemical agents, in accordance with general prevention principlesInformation, training and consultation of workers and their representatives. - Individual protective measures and equipment - Accidents, incidents and emergency situations - Health surveillance

  21. Example of Training sessions • Module 3 – The legal framework • EU directives • National legislation • Module 4 – Inspection methods and instruments • - Methods within the European Campaign: the preparatory questionnaire • - Instruments for enforcement • - Evaluation

  22. The technical and pedagogical resources used on the course can comprise: • - Basic texts on each topic available online for downloading • - Video recordings on specific health and safety topics • - Multimedia PowerPoint presentations designed by the trainer(s)-tutor(s) for specific learning situations • - A tutorial on how to use the Moodle platform in a learning context (provided by the project leader) • - A course guide • Inspection instruments • (...)

  23. Trainees must meet all of the following requirements: - IT user skills in a Windows environment - Experience in using web browsers, in particular Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) - An active email account and some experience of using it Availability to: Participate in discussion forums Study the contents provided online on a self-access basis Complete the set tasks Complete an assessment questionnaire.

  24. What is expected from national platform managers: • Develop and submit the national training module to the National Directorates of Labour Inspectorates • Report to the project leader if the Member State opts for distance training • Use the educational materials provided by the leader and the working party • Develop specific training materials • Manage the platform for the Member State autonomously, notwithstanding any support that may be provided by the project leader.

  25. What is expected from trainer(s)-tutor(s): • Be available to trainees in order to supervise and support them throughout the course • Access the course IT platform at least once a day during the training period in order to reply to messages sent by trainees or, on their own initative, to ask questions and/or give information to trainees • Provide phased proactive and ongoing contributions via discussion forums and emails • Reply to questions or queries presented by trainees within 24 hours (one working day).

  26. Guidelines for enforcement

  27. From 15 September to 31 December 2010 • Information materials (posters/ brochures) can be used during inspection visits • (recommended) • No binding method, although the previous approach of employers through a • questionnaire distributed by labour inspectorates is welcome, according • with the model provided by the project leader • MS will be asked on quantitative goals (number of workplaces to visit and labour inspectors involved) • All visits are expected to consider a minimum set of dangerous substances • (see indicator maps) • Support instruments will be provided (again in a voluntary basis): check-lists • for labour inspectors, documents available ion the website and training materials • It is expected that MS give feedback in order to allow the Campaign’s • evaluation, by sending the evaluation sheets to the project leader in late January 2011

  28. Recommended method (non binding)

  29. How does it work? (PT example) 15 July to 31 August: LI analyse answers • Questionnaire is sent in a pack • with: • official letter • flyer on risk assessment • informative brochure for the • sector

  30. How does it work? (PT example) • METHOD TO SELECT COMPANIES • TO VISIT: • Companies that did not answer the • questionnaire, but received it • Answers showing the company is lacking • common knowledge on risk assessment • Ramdomly • Visits are not expected to more than 20% of • the sample • Selection criteria informed to companies in the • official letter

  31. How does it work? (PT example) • WHAT WE EXPECT FROM THIS: • small companies will be faced with the need • to collect data on risk assessment • it can play the role of a “trigger” in companies • unwilling to comply with OSH regulations • (it has to be clear in the official letter that • control visits will be made in the near future) • It can play a multiplier effect • It is a preventive approach (companies are • expected to act accordingly with legal requirements) • It can also provide important data to LI to • update databases

  32. How does it work? (PT example) • WHAT WILL THE PROJECT LEADER • PROVIDE: • Questionnaire for companies • Example of official letter • Small support manual • WHAT IS EXPECTED FROM NATIONAL PROJECT • MANAGERS OF MS WILLING TO ADOPT THIS • METHOD: • To adapt the questionnaire and official letter to • national realities
